i want to be the moon,
the shining light
on your darkest nights

i want to be the moon
and yet i envy her
for she is noticed
without even a whisper

i want to be the moon
the one you look at every night
before you sleep tight

i want to be the moon
for you give her
your undivided attention

i just want to be the moon,
the one that comforts you,
is there for you,
the one that tells you it’s all gonna be okay

but the moon disappears in the day,
hides and lets another take her place,
and maybe

i don’t have to
